0:00:06 > 0:00:07Yes, Milady?

0:00:07 > 0:00:09HIGH-PITCHED VOICE

0:00:09 > 0:00:10An antiques fair, Milady.

0:00:10 > 0:00:12VOICE REPLIES

0:00:12 > 0:00:15At the British Motor Museum in Warwickshire, Milady.

0:00:15 > 0:00:16VOICE REPLIES

0:00:16 > 0:00:20Oh, yes, it's all ready and prepared. I'm on my way, Milady.

0:00:24 > 0:00:28Looks like Bargain Hunters are go!

0:00:53 > 0:00:56The British Motor Museum has over 400 vehicles in its collection.

0:00:56 > 0:00:59But it's not about cars today, as upstairs there's an antiques fair

0:00:59 > 0:01:03taking place for our Reds and Blues to race around.

0:01:03 > 0:01:07And they have just one hour and £300 to spend on three items

0:01:07 > 0:01:09to take off to auction.

0:01:09 > 0:01:11So, let's put our foot down and see what's coming up.

0:01:13 > 0:01:16On today's show, the Reds have been paying attention.

0:01:16 > 0:01:21I have seen those on Bargain Hunt go quite well.

0:01:23 > 0:01:26Age is a concern for the Blues.

0:01:26 > 0:01:29The only thing that puts me off is it was made in the same year

0:01:29 > 0:01:33- as I was born and I don't like to think of myself as old.- No!

0:01:33 > 0:01:35GAVEL BANGS

0:01:35 > 0:01:38But will there be cause for concern at the auction for our Reds?

0:01:38 > 0:01:40I don't like the way he's going...

0:01:40 > 0:01:42THEY LAUGH

0:01:42 > 0:01:43Or our Blues?

0:01:43 > 0:01:46Yes, that's profit!

0:01:46 > 0:01:48And I take some time out to uncover

0:01:48 > 0:01:51the military history of Cannock Chase.

0:01:51 > 0:01:53What was the primary role of these camps?

0:01:53 > 0:01:57- The camps were designed to hold 40,000 men on the Chase.- 40?

0:01:57 > 0:02:00Yeah, that's what it was designed as.

0:02:00 > 0:02:03But that's for later. Now, let's meet the two teams.

0:02:03 > 0:02:05Two pairs of friends and for the Reds,

0:02:05 > 0:02:08we have the two Js, Judy and June.

0:02:08 > 0:02:11And for the Blues, we have Claire and Elizabeth.

0:02:11 > 0:02:14- Hello, all. ALL:- Hello!

0:02:14 > 0:02:16- Oh, my goodness me. Looking forward to it?- Yes, very much.

0:02:16 > 0:02:18You look as if you're looking forward to it.

0:02:18 > 0:02:20Now, you two, June and Judy.

0:02:20 > 0:02:24- You've been friends for quite some time, haven't you?- Oh, yes, we have.

0:02:24 > 0:02:27- But it didn't start that well, did it?- No, it didn't.

0:02:27 > 0:02:32We were both teachers in a big college in Worcester and Judy

0:02:32 > 0:02:35had a very nice, smart little office she'd had for a long time

0:02:35 > 0:02:39and my office was being decorated so I had to move in with Judy

0:02:39 > 0:02:40- for a short while.- Oh!

0:02:40 > 0:02:45So, I turned up with bin bags full of teddy bears, ornaments,

0:02:45 > 0:02:47half-dead pot plants, all sorts of things.

0:02:47 > 0:02:48It's a bit, you know, and I was thinking,

0:02:48 > 0:02:52"Oh, who's she coming in," kind of thing. You know, with all this junk.

0:02:52 > 0:02:55She said my half-dead spider plants were obscuring her view

0:02:55 > 0:02:59- of the Malvern Hills.- But, you get used to something, don't you?

0:02:59 > 0:03:02You get used to our June.

0:03:02 > 0:03:06Ever after that, Judy was my unofficial mentor

0:03:06 > 0:03:10and teaching buddy which has stood me in good stead all my career.

0:03:10 > 0:03:12- But you've now retired, haven't you?- I have. Yes.

0:03:12 > 0:03:16- So, Judy, what do you do now?- I work for the National Trust.- Wonderful.

0:03:16 > 0:03:20- Whereabouts?- I volunteer. Bromyard, Brockhampton Estate.- Oh, fantastic.

0:03:20 > 0:03:26Which I thoroughly enjoy. A tour operator and I work in the house and also in the book shop.

0:03:26 > 0:03:29- Do you like antiques?- Yes! - Well, I like Judy.- Oh!

0:03:29 > 0:03:32How very rude.

0:03:32 > 0:03:37- She's my friend.- She WAS your friend. Goodness me.

0:03:37 > 0:03:39Well, is teamwork going to be central in your buying?

0:03:39 > 0:03:41- Oh, yes!- Has to be.

0:03:41 > 0:03:44- Oh!- We've got a little bit of a plan going on, yes.- That's right, yes.

0:03:44 > 0:03:48We're looking at something that's going to give us a profit.

0:03:48 > 0:03:52Really? Well, that would be a first. That's the Red team.

0:03:52 > 0:03:55Now onto you Blues. Claire and Elizabeth.

0:03:55 > 0:03:58- Have you been friends a long time? - Since October last year

0:03:58 > 0:04:01- when we started working at the same place.- A fresh relationship!

0:04:01 > 0:04:03- You're fundraisers, aren't you? - We are, we're fundraisers

0:04:03 > 0:04:06for the Queen Alexandra Hospital Home in Worthing

0:04:06 > 0:04:09where we care for physically disabled ex-servicemen and women.

0:04:09 > 0:04:12- Wonderful. And you're in charge, are you? Are you the boss?- I am, yes.

0:04:12 > 0:04:14- Yes, but we are very much a team. - Yeah.

0:04:14 > 0:04:16- And Claire?- I'm a trust fundraiser.

0:04:16 > 0:04:18Trust fundraiser? What does that mean?

0:04:18 > 0:04:21I have to send off fundraising proposals to trusts to try

0:04:21 > 0:04:23- and get big money in.- And do you get big money in?- Occasionally.

0:04:23 > 0:04:28- Recently, we had in a pledge for £50,000.- £50,000?!

0:04:28 > 0:04:30You must have been very excited.

0:04:30 > 0:04:31Yes, we were jumping round the office.

0:04:31 > 0:04:33Marvellous. That must make you feel really good.

0:04:33 > 0:04:35Absolutely, and every day we get to see the residents,

0:04:35 > 0:04:37so we see directly where the money's going

0:04:37 > 0:04:40so it's really inspiring to see everybody every day.

0:04:40 > 0:04:43Now, Elizabeth, you once had a very famous boyfriend, didn't you?

0:04:43 > 0:04:46I did, I did go out with Jarvis Cocker for a while.

0:04:46 > 0:04:49But, I add, it was before he was rich and famous.

0:04:49 > 0:04:50The timing was very wrong there.

0:04:50 > 0:04:52Did he write that song to you? Was it...

0:04:52 > 0:04:55# That's where I caught her eye... #

0:04:55 > 0:04:58- No, I think that might have been about someone else.- What a shame.

0:04:58 > 0:05:00Maybe I was the Common People one.

0:05:00 > 0:05:01THEY LAUGH

0:05:01 > 0:05:03"I wanna dance with common people," was that it?

0:05:03 > 0:05:05- Yes, yes, that's right. - Gosh, well done, Jarvis.

0:05:05 > 0:05:07So, you're good at fundraising -

0:05:07 > 0:05:08what about spending? Good at spending?

0:05:08 > 0:05:10- Yes.- Well, we shall see.

0:05:10 > 0:05:13- Yep, so you're all up for it?- Yes. - Ready to go?- We are.

0:05:13 > 0:05:15We've got £1.2 million to raise this year, Charlie,

0:05:15 > 0:05:18so we're hoping that this is going to do it for us today.

0:05:18 > 0:05:21Piece of cake, frankly. 300 into 1.2 million.

0:05:21 > 0:05:23What are we missing?

0:05:23 > 0:05:25- The money.- The money!

0:05:25 > 0:05:28I've got the dosh. There we are. I'm holding the folding.

0:05:28 > 0:05:31- Thank you, Charlie.- 300 for you and we've got... Look at you.

0:05:31 > 0:05:36- You're so excited, aren't you? £300.- Oh, thank you!

0:05:36 > 0:05:39- Right, have a great shop and off you go.- Thank you.

0:05:39 > 0:05:40They were such good friends.

0:05:40 > 0:05:44But will it still be the same after they've been shopping?

0:05:45 > 0:05:47So let's meet today's experts.

0:05:47 > 0:05:52I spy with my little eye, Richard Madley for the Reds.

0:05:52 > 0:05:56And bingo, it's Thomas Plant for the Blues.

0:05:56 > 0:05:58So what will our teams be looking for?

0:05:58 > 0:06:02- Have we come with a shopping list today?- Yes, we have.

0:06:02 > 0:06:05We were looking at something like snuff boxes or trinket boxes,

0:06:05 > 0:06:08something like a desk tidy or ink stand.

0:06:08 > 0:06:11We want something that's beautiful and practical

0:06:11 > 0:06:14- and we particularly like Art Deco, Art Nouveau.- Do you?

0:06:14 > 0:06:17You know, something that's a bit batty, something a bit left-field.

0:06:17 > 0:06:20Don't forget, though, we've got to make a profit, June.

0:06:20 > 0:06:23- I like small and sparkly.- Small and sparkly? I love small and sparkly.

0:06:23 > 0:06:27Start looking, teams, because your time starts now.

0:06:27 > 0:06:29WHISTLE BLOWS

0:06:29 > 0:06:32- Yes.- I think I know where we can start. Come with me.

0:06:32 > 0:06:34Let's go shopping.

0:06:35 > 0:06:36Good luck, teams.

0:06:36 > 0:06:39It looks like the Reds are getting straight down to business

0:06:39 > 0:06:42but I don't remember a dog being on your extensive shopping list.

0:06:42 > 0:06:45Tiny dogs, they're very fashionable, people might like to buy them.

0:06:45 > 0:06:48Shall we just find out, just out of interest, how much it is?

0:06:48 > 0:06:52- £75.- £75.

0:06:52 > 0:06:56I think it's cast, isn't it? Made in two parts.

0:06:56 > 0:06:59- It's cast and it's in two parts but at £75...- That's a lot of money.

0:06:59 > 0:07:01That is plenty of money.

0:07:01 > 0:07:04I mean, I would like to see that being bought for

0:07:04 > 0:07:09- nearer £50 if we were looking to make a profit.- Hello.- Hello, there.

0:07:09 > 0:07:13We're admiring your French bulldog. Are we right in...

0:07:13 > 0:07:15Well, I think it's actually a Boston terrier.

0:07:15 > 0:07:17- A Boston terrier! - Boston terrier...

0:07:17 > 0:07:19There you go.

0:07:19 > 0:07:22Because it's American, cast iron, probably Hubley,

0:07:22 > 0:07:24which is an American manufacturer.

0:07:24 > 0:07:27- About 1950, then? - It could be, or it could be earlier.

0:07:27 > 0:07:29- It could even be '30s.- There we go.

0:07:29 > 0:07:32They were making them through the '30s, '40s, through to the '50s.

0:07:32 > 0:07:37- Is there some movement in the price? - I could probably do it for 60.

0:07:37 > 0:07:41- We're working really to 50. - Go on, then. Go on, shake it.

0:07:41 > 0:07:44Thank you. We'll look after him very well. Thank you dearly.

0:07:44 > 0:07:48- Thank you very much indeed. Thank you.- Was nice to meet you.

0:07:48 > 0:07:50All right, let's take him for a walk, shall we?

0:07:51 > 0:07:55Keep him on a tight lead, then, Reds. Well done.

0:07:55 > 0:07:56First buy in five minutes.

0:07:56 > 0:07:59Blues, you were after some Art Deco.

0:07:59 > 0:08:03Can you spot the Deco? Because you said you're into Deco, didn't you?

0:08:03 > 0:08:05- You're probably better at that than me.- This one.

0:08:05 > 0:08:07That one, yeah. That's quite a cool thing, isn't it?

0:08:07 > 0:08:10It's like a centrepiece with the birds. So, it's marked at 48.

0:08:10 > 0:08:13- Yeah.- Do you want to ask the question we all ask?

0:08:13 > 0:08:20- What's the best price you can do on it, please.- I could do 36.- 36.

0:08:20 > 0:08:22So, you know, a desk garniture.

0:08:22 > 0:08:25Something for a sideboard, it's quite decorative, isn't it?

0:08:25 > 0:08:27- Lovely.- Now, these are spelter,

0:08:27 > 0:08:29so spelter is an alloy of metal.

0:08:29 > 0:08:33It's not a bronze but they've been bronzed up to make them

0:08:33 > 0:08:36look like bronze on a hard stone base.

0:08:36 > 0:08:38And do you think it will sell at auction, do you think...?

0:08:38 > 0:08:42- Well, I think that 36 is quite an honest price for it.- Yeah, yeah.

0:08:42 > 0:08:43I mean, you're looking at it like a real pro.

0:08:43 > 0:08:46Are you sure you haven't done this before?

0:08:46 > 0:08:49- Well, I do buy things like this for myself.- OK.

0:08:49 > 0:08:51- But then, obviously, I don't resell it, so...- No, no.

0:08:51 > 0:08:53Claire, are you happy with this price at £36?

0:08:53 > 0:08:56Yes, obviously would be nice to get a couple of pounds off it.

0:08:56 > 0:08:59- Are you good with figures? - I should be, in my job.

0:08:59 > 0:09:02- She is, she's a fundraiser so... - Every pound counts.

0:09:02 > 0:09:04I'll do 32.

0:09:04 > 0:09:08- OK, 32. So what do you think of that, 32?- Yes, 32, then.- 32.

0:09:08 > 0:09:11- Thank you very much indeed. - Superb.- Thank you.- Well done, girls.

0:09:11 > 0:09:15- That's the first item down. It's what you wanted, a bit of Deco.- Yes.

0:09:16 > 0:09:19The Blues seem happy with their first buy.

0:09:19 > 0:09:22Both teams are certainly speeding around the museum.

0:09:22 > 0:09:25Now, Reds, are you going to tick anything off that shopping list?

0:09:25 > 0:09:28Personally, I'm interested in the mirror,

0:09:28 > 0:09:30that looks to me as if it's Indian, possibly.

0:09:30 > 0:09:33It is Indian, yeah. And Victorian.

0:09:33 > 0:09:35And it's got the original mirror in as well.

0:09:35 > 0:09:41A real Colonial piece and there is an interest in that period nowadays.

0:09:41 > 0:09:45I think it's quite lovely. And I do think it's very sellable.

0:09:45 > 0:09:48Shall we just find out how much it is?

0:09:48 > 0:09:52- I've got 65 on it, I could do it for you for 55.- Right.

0:09:52 > 0:09:55- Well, look...- Have a think. - We know where it is.

0:09:55 > 0:09:58We know what it is, and we know how much it is.

0:09:58 > 0:10:02So, I'd like us to put that one in reserve and then maybe we

0:10:02 > 0:10:05- could come back later.- Yes, yeah. - Is that all right with you?

0:10:05 > 0:10:08- Absolutely, yes.- Thank you, thank you very much.- Thank you.- Excellent.

0:10:10 > 0:10:14So, upon reflection, the mirror is on the back burner.

0:10:14 > 0:10:17Blues, is this sampler in the picture?

0:10:17 > 0:10:20- 1832.- 1832.- Someone aged nine years.

0:10:20 > 0:10:24Yeah, nine years old. Anno Domini, 1832.

0:10:24 > 0:10:26There's the dog and the sheep here, and the little farmhouses.

0:10:26 > 0:10:29It's lovely in that it's an old thing.

0:10:29 > 0:10:33- But you're not that excited? - No.- No?- No.- No, I can see that.

0:10:33 > 0:10:34- Sorry.- It's decision made.

0:10:34 > 0:10:38Claire, I think the decision maker out of this relationship...

0:10:38 > 0:10:39is Elizabeth.

0:10:39 > 0:10:41- It's cos she's the head of fundraising.- Is it?

0:10:41 > 0:10:43- Is she more senior than you?- Yeah.

0:10:43 > 0:10:46Always tricky working alongside the boss.

0:10:46 > 0:10:49Back to the Reds, and what's Judy got her eye on?

0:10:49 > 0:10:52I was looking at the Victorian tea caddy, June.

0:10:52 > 0:10:56- It'll be full of...tea.- Tea! - It might be!

0:10:56 > 0:10:59That particular style, it's called Bombay.

0:10:59 > 0:11:02That means it's got shaped sides.

0:11:02 > 0:11:06And I would say of Rococo influence.

0:11:06 > 0:11:08- Hence the curly bits.- Yeah.

0:11:08 > 0:11:12So, stylistically, it looks 18th-century,

0:11:12 > 0:11:17and this would've probably been made 1880, 1890,

0:11:17 > 0:11:21in a base metal, by the looks of it, or a type of pewter.

0:11:21 > 0:11:23The owner of this tea caddy,

0:11:23 > 0:11:26and remember tea was very expensive in those days,

0:11:26 > 0:11:29which is why they made caddies,

0:11:29 > 0:11:33or katis, as they were originally called, to hold tea.

0:11:33 > 0:11:37And, actually, the more I look at this, the more it's growing on me.

0:11:37 > 0:11:38Again, it's all about price.

0:11:38 > 0:11:41Perhaps you could give us some idea of what you're asking for it?

0:11:41 > 0:11:43I had 59 on it.

0:11:43 > 0:11:46- But I can do it for 45 for you. - Right!

0:11:46 > 0:11:49- Am I getting some buying signals here?- Yes, I would like to...

0:11:49 > 0:11:51Would you like to? Go on, then, shall we go for it?

0:11:51 > 0:11:53Yes, it's very pretty.

0:11:53 > 0:11:56In which case, we'd very much like to buy your caddy. Thank you.

0:11:56 > 0:11:58Thank you very much. And I wish you good luck.

0:11:58 > 0:12:00Thank you very much. Thank you.

0:12:00 > 0:12:04It certainly is going well, Reds. Two items in just 15 minutes.

0:12:04 > 0:12:06Now, Blues, what do you have there?

0:12:06 > 0:12:09Is it one of those boot things?

0:12:09 > 0:12:12- Like you would do for your laces... - It's a button hook.- Oh, I see.

0:12:12 > 0:12:15But, actually, would that be for boots?

0:12:15 > 0:12:18- Probably not, because it's not that strong.- OK.

0:12:18 > 0:12:21- I would've said gloves.- Oh! I see.

0:12:21 > 0:12:23- So, again, beautiful but not practical.- Yeah.

0:12:23 > 0:12:25Cos we don't wear those sort of gloves any more.

0:12:25 > 0:12:28The Blues aren't 100% hooked.

0:12:28 > 0:12:32See if you can find something beautiful AND practical.

0:12:32 > 0:12:35Time for a catch-up with our experts. How's it going, Richard?

0:12:35 > 0:12:38I think they've bought well, they've bought very, very quickly.

0:12:38 > 0:12:42Now, the danger is, when you get this ahead of yourself,

0:12:42 > 0:12:46is to just slow down and relax and think, "I've got plenty of time."

0:12:46 > 0:12:48Well, there's 40 minutes left, Richard.

0:12:48 > 0:12:49What about the Blues, Thomas?

0:12:49 > 0:12:52Elizabeth is in charge. I mean, she's...

0:12:52 > 0:12:54quite a decision maker,

0:12:54 > 0:12:56which I really like.

0:12:56 > 0:12:59And I think that Claire has got her own style,

0:12:59 > 0:13:02and I think she certainly knows what she likes.

0:13:02 > 0:13:04Let's see if Claire likes this bangle.

0:13:05 > 0:13:08So, this is a hallmarked one for 1963.

0:13:08 > 0:13:10So, it's silver.

0:13:10 > 0:13:12- Good, good gate clasp on it.- Yeah.

0:13:12 > 0:13:16- That's actually quite nice. - Yeah. Actually, it looks nicer on.

0:13:16 > 0:13:19- Yeah, it does, doesn't it? - What is it?

0:13:19 > 0:13:22- Ooh, it's quite a lot.- £25?- Yes.

0:13:22 > 0:13:25£25 for a bit of handmade silver with a proper working clasp.

0:13:25 > 0:13:27I think that's quite good.

0:13:27 > 0:13:31Even with a little bit off, I think that's a goer.

0:13:31 > 0:13:33- Where's the hallmark? - So it's hallmarked here.

0:13:33 > 0:13:35- Can you see it there?- Yeah.

0:13:35 > 0:13:38The Birmingham and the lion passant and the "O" of 1963.

0:13:38 > 0:13:42- You liked it.- I do, yeah. - Do you like it?- I think it's good.

0:13:42 > 0:13:43What's the best possible price?

0:13:43 > 0:13:46- What have I got on the ticket? - 25.- 20.- 20.

0:13:46 > 0:13:48The only thing that puts me off

0:13:48 > 0:13:50is it was made in the same year as I was born,

0:13:50 > 0:13:53- and I don't like to think of myself as old.- No!

0:13:53 > 0:13:56I never realised... I didn't think you were a '60s child.

0:13:56 > 0:13:57Oh, well, there you go.

0:13:57 > 0:13:59Stop flirting, Thomas!

0:13:59 > 0:14:01- Gosh!- It's a beautiful thing,

0:14:01 > 0:14:03and if you want to go with it, I think we should.

0:14:03 > 0:14:05We're going to trust you.

0:14:05 > 0:14:07- All on me, is it? All on me?- Yes.

0:14:07 > 0:14:09- I think they should go for this. - All right.

0:14:09 > 0:14:11- And I'm going to say yes. Yes? - Yes.- Happy?- Yes.

0:14:11 > 0:14:14- Lovely.- Thank you. - You're most welcome.

0:14:14 > 0:14:15Thank you very much.

0:14:15 > 0:14:19- Are you happy?- Very happy. - Third and final to find.

0:14:19 > 0:14:21And 30 minutes in which to find it.

0:14:21 > 0:14:22The same goes for the Reds,

0:14:22 > 0:14:24and this was definitely on their shopping list.

0:14:24 > 0:14:27- A desk tidy. It looks Victorian. - It does...

0:14:27 > 0:14:33That light oak style was very popular 1880 to 1900.

0:14:33 > 0:14:35Fitted stationery rack.

0:14:35 > 0:14:38Keep your envelopes and your writing paper there.

0:14:38 > 0:14:40Shall we find out, at least, how much they are asking for it?

0:14:40 > 0:14:43- Yes, please. - Hello!- Hi.- Hi.

0:14:43 > 0:14:47- We see it is priceless at the moment.- OK.

0:14:47 > 0:14:49- Literally.- It's 85.

0:14:49 > 0:14:51It's 85 to start or 85 to finish?

0:14:52 > 0:14:56- I would do 60.- 60? OK.

0:14:56 > 0:14:58- Shall we just add it to the mirror? - Yes.

0:14:58 > 0:15:01Perhaps consider and compare.

0:15:01 > 0:15:03Yes, I think that's a good plan for now.

0:15:03 > 0:15:05Two items on the back burner, then.

0:15:05 > 0:15:09Blues, have you finally found something beautiful AND practical?

0:15:09 > 0:15:11Dates from the early 1900s,

0:15:11 > 0:15:14and you've got a bevel glass mirror, you've got the drip pans.

0:15:14 > 0:15:16It's always good to have the drip pans

0:15:16 > 0:15:17for the umbrellas and the sticks.

0:15:17 > 0:15:18It's immensely practical.

0:15:18 > 0:15:21That would go really nicely in my house. I would buy that.

0:15:21 > 0:15:23- We're not buying for you. - No, I know.

0:15:23 > 0:15:24But it's practical, isn't it?

0:15:24 > 0:15:27You can put your coat on it, you can put your umbrellas in it.

0:15:27 > 0:15:30- So, the price. £85. - Yeah, that's punchy, isn't it?

0:15:30 > 0:15:31Do you want to go and ask?

0:15:31 > 0:15:34- You're probably...the thrusty one out of you two.- "The thrusty one"!

0:15:34 > 0:15:37Well, we could go together, and you could smile sweetly...

0:15:37 > 0:15:38Go like this.

0:15:38 > 0:15:40Yeah, yeah, you could smile, yeah.

0:15:40 > 0:15:43And then you could do your "I don't think that's enough. I want more."

0:15:43 > 0:15:45- All right. - Go on. Go and do your thing.

0:15:45 > 0:15:47Let's see how this works, then.

0:15:47 > 0:15:50- The hall stand.- Yeah. - What's the...- The best?

0:15:50 > 0:15:53..the best price that you could do for us on it, please?

0:15:53 > 0:15:57- Ideally I'd like 60 for it. - A bit more than we wanted to pay.

0:15:57 > 0:15:59OK. What did you want to pay?

0:15:59 > 0:16:02- Um...50?- I'll meet you at 55 - I could do that.

0:16:02 > 0:16:04Quite a gamble, but it's a lovely thing.

0:16:04 > 0:16:06But thank you for that.

0:16:06 > 0:16:07I'm sensing our fundraisers feel that

0:16:07 > 0:16:09it might not bring home the money.

0:16:09 > 0:16:11- We've still got time. - I think you're right.

0:16:11 > 0:16:14I think you've got a lot more time than you think,

0:16:14 > 0:16:16- and I don't think that's a bad buy at 55.- No.

0:16:16 > 0:16:19Definitely not. So, come on, let's go.

0:16:19 > 0:16:21One for serious consideration, then, Blues.

0:16:21 > 0:16:24But there's 20 minutes left on the clock.

0:16:24 > 0:16:26So, are the Reds sailing along nicely?

0:16:26 > 0:16:28- Ooh.- A pond yacht.

0:16:28 > 0:16:33This is a traditional model. It looks to be 1930s in design.

0:16:33 > 0:16:36Sir, can you give us a little bit of history on it?

0:16:36 > 0:16:39- It came from Belgium.- Ah!

0:16:40 > 0:16:43- Don't know much more about it than that, really.- Right.

0:16:43 > 0:16:45Do you know how old it is? No?

0:16:45 > 0:16:49I would imagine it's not that old. Probably 1960s, something like that.

0:16:49 > 0:16:52The important thing to us is the price.

0:16:52 > 0:16:54Ah...

0:16:54 > 0:16:58- Well, I've got 55 on it...- Right.

0:16:58 > 0:17:00What's your very best price?

0:17:00 > 0:17:0245?

0:17:02 > 0:17:05- 50.- 50? £50?

0:17:05 > 0:17:10I have seen those on Bargain Hunt go quite well,

0:17:10 > 0:17:12- sell very well at auction.- Right.

0:17:12 > 0:17:14And it's big and it's striking.

0:17:14 > 0:17:16We've got two smaller items, and we should go for

0:17:16 > 0:17:19one big striking piece, and I think this is it.

0:17:19 > 0:17:22- Deal?- Yeah.- A deal.- A deal. - Deal.- Deal.

0:17:22 > 0:17:24- Well, we're shaking hands. - We'll take it!

0:17:24 > 0:17:26We'll see if the owner will shake hands.

0:17:26 > 0:17:28- We've got a deal, sir.- Thank you.

0:17:28 > 0:17:31- Thanks very much. Great. Thank you. - Lovely. Cheers.

0:17:31 > 0:17:33- We've done it!- That's the three!

0:17:33 > 0:17:36Well done, Reds. Job done.

0:17:36 > 0:17:37So, Blues, it's down to you.

0:17:37 > 0:17:40- We've got 15 minutes left.- Yes.

0:17:40 > 0:17:41From your saying we've got all this time,

0:17:41 > 0:17:43- now we've got 15 minutes.- Yes.

0:17:43 > 0:17:45Get cracking, then, Blues.

0:17:45 > 0:17:47But the Reds look very relaxed.

0:17:47 > 0:17:49Are we happy with the morning's buying?

0:17:49 > 0:17:52- Excellent. I thoroughly enjoyed it. - Really happy.- Great.

0:17:52 > 0:17:58- Cheers to the Reds. - Cheers!- Cheers!- Winners!

0:17:58 > 0:17:59Cheers, Reds!

0:17:59 > 0:18:01Blues, have you spotted your final item?

0:18:01 > 0:18:04This is a guilloche enamel compact. It is slightly damaged.

0:18:04 > 0:18:06I didn't notice that.

0:18:06 > 0:18:08- Because enamel's got to be perfect, hasn't it?- It has.

0:18:08 > 0:18:10It's Deco.

0:18:10 > 0:18:12You can see there's a little bit of a bruise just there to it.

0:18:12 > 0:18:15- No. OK.- Ah, that's a shame. - Thank you.

0:18:15 > 0:18:17Disappointment for the Blues.

0:18:17 > 0:18:19Move on - just five minutes left!

0:18:19 > 0:18:20Come on.

0:18:20 > 0:18:22Thomas really does have his eye on the time.

0:18:24 > 0:18:27- What is it?- Sort of like a little travelling case.- Travelling clock.

0:18:27 > 0:18:29- Silver, leather.- That is sweet.

0:18:29 > 0:18:31I can do that for £25.

0:18:31 > 0:18:33£20, you say?

0:18:34 > 0:18:37- What did you say?- I said 25.- 25.

0:18:37 > 0:18:41London, "I", so it's going to be very early 20th-century,

0:18:41 > 0:18:43very early 1900s.

0:18:43 > 0:18:45Yeah, for the money...

0:18:45 > 0:18:49- £20 can't...? - No, it's a bit...tight at 20.

0:18:49 > 0:18:52- Is it really tight at 20?- Yes.- 22?

0:18:52 > 0:18:55- 22.- You will? Do you think that's good, then?

0:18:55 > 0:18:57- I do, I do. I think that's good. - Over the hall stand?

0:18:57 > 0:19:00I think you've got more of a chance of making money on this

0:19:00 > 0:19:01than you have on the hall stand.

0:19:01 > 0:19:02It is a nice thing.

0:19:02 > 0:19:06- So, shall we do that? Thank you very much.- Thank you.

0:19:06 > 0:19:08Job done, Blues, with minutes to spare.

0:19:08 > 0:19:09HORN HONKS

0:19:09 > 0:19:12Right, teams, your time is up.

0:19:12 > 0:19:15Right, come on, I want a cup of tea. Come on.

0:19:15 > 0:19:18Now, let's have a look at what the Red team have bought.

0:19:18 > 0:19:21First up, June and Judy are hoping they're barking up the right tree

0:19:21 > 0:19:25with this dog figure bought for £50.

0:19:25 > 0:19:28Next, will this tea caddy be filled with profit?

0:19:28 > 0:19:30It cost £45.

0:19:30 > 0:19:35And, finally, they dropped anchor and bought this model yacht for £50.

0:19:35 > 0:19:39- Well, June and Judy, has this man treated you well?- Very well.

0:19:39 > 0:19:40Have they behaved themselves?

0:19:40 > 0:19:42They've been impeccably behaved, Charlie.

0:19:42 > 0:19:44- THEY LAUGH - Mainly.

0:19:44 > 0:19:46So, June, what's your favourite item?

0:19:46 > 0:19:49Oh, the dog, the cast-iron Boston terrier.

0:19:49 > 0:19:50That's my favourite lot.

0:19:50 > 0:19:53There's going to be a dog lover who's going to love to

0:19:53 > 0:19:55take that little dog home, I'm sure.

0:19:55 > 0:19:58- Do you share those views?- No. - No? What do you think?

0:19:58 > 0:20:00I like my tea caddy.

0:20:00 > 0:20:04- You like your tea... - My pewter tea caddy!- Yes, yes.- Yes.

0:20:04 > 0:20:06But which is going to make the biggest profit?

0:20:06 > 0:20:10- Probably the boat.- The boat! The pond yacht!- The pond yacht.

0:20:10 > 0:20:13- I like pond yachts. - That will probably be our best item.

0:20:13 > 0:20:15- Keeping our fingers crossed there. - Very good.

0:20:15 > 0:20:18Well, you didn't do badly. You spent very nearly half your money.

0:20:18 > 0:20:20- We did.- 145.- That's right.

0:20:20 > 0:20:24- Which should leave 155 for this great man.- That's correct.

0:20:24 > 0:20:26- Do you want to hand it over?- Yes.

0:20:26 > 0:20:31What's he going to do with this? 155.

0:20:31 > 0:20:34These girls came with a shopping list this morning

0:20:34 > 0:20:37which they tore up as soon as they went shopping.

0:20:37 > 0:20:39And we bought three totally different items.

0:20:39 > 0:20:41But I'm going to get us back on course,

0:20:41 > 0:20:44and I've seen something that I think will appeal to you both.

0:20:44 > 0:20:46- Oh!- Superb.

0:20:46 > 0:20:48So, while Richard goes off with his shopping list,

0:20:48 > 0:20:52let's remind ourselves what the Blue team have bought.

0:20:52 > 0:20:56Fundraisers Elizabeth and Claire are hoping to raise a small fortune

0:20:56 > 0:21:00with this Art Deco centrepiece bought for £32.

0:21:01 > 0:21:04Next, silver and sparkly was on Claire's shopping list

0:21:04 > 0:21:07and they paid £20 for this silver bangle.

0:21:07 > 0:21:10Finally, they bought this travel clock for £22.

0:21:12 > 0:21:16Claire and Elizabeth, you spent £74.

0:21:16 > 0:21:18Stop giggling!

0:21:18 > 0:21:20We're frugal fundraisers.

0:21:20 > 0:21:23- Of course you are!- That's what it is.- Which is your favourite item?

0:21:23 > 0:21:26The Art Deco marble thing with the birds.

0:21:26 > 0:21:30- The thing with the birds. - That's what I'd have in my house.

0:21:30 > 0:21:32That's always a good acid test. Claire, what about you?

0:21:32 > 0:21:36- I liked the silver bangle. - Silver bangle, it's a nice thing.

0:21:36 > 0:21:38Which do you think will make the most profit, Claire?

0:21:38 > 0:21:42I think probably the Art Deco ornament.

0:21:42 > 0:21:44The clock.

0:21:44 > 0:21:47- Elizabeth, you think the clock? - Because he told us.

0:21:47 > 0:21:50LAUGHTER

0:21:50 > 0:21:54Thomas, you probably won't dare come to the auction.

0:21:54 > 0:21:56I think you're right, Charlie.

0:21:56 > 0:22:00I think he's right. It's a nice thing.

0:22:00 > 0:22:05Very good. Well, you've spent £74, which is rather feeble.

0:22:05 > 0:22:08You're going to have to give me £226.

0:22:08 > 0:22:12Hand it over. Do you know what a gamble you're taking, girls?

0:22:12 > 0:22:14We trust him.

0:22:14 > 0:22:17Thomas, what are you going to do with that?

0:22:17 > 0:22:21These two have been so frugal

0:22:21 > 0:22:23and it might rub off.

0:22:23 > 0:22:27So while Thomas goes off to be particularly frugal,

0:22:27 > 0:22:30I'm off to somewhere quite interesting.

0:22:35 > 0:22:38Before we head over to Lichfield for today's auction,

0:22:38 > 0:22:42I've diverted ten miles west of the city to the tranquil Cannock Chase,

0:22:42 > 0:22:453,000 acres of rolling open heath and woodland

0:22:45 > 0:22:47divided by steep valleys.

0:22:47 > 0:22:50It's hard to believe that 100 years ago,

0:22:50 > 0:22:53at the onset of the First World War,

0:22:53 > 0:22:58this area was the site of two army camps, Brocton and Rugeley.

0:22:58 > 0:23:01And Lord Lichfield offered up free use of this land

0:23:01 > 0:23:05to house the servicemen who had signed up to fight

0:23:05 > 0:23:07for king and country.

0:23:08 > 0:23:13During the winter of 1914, a massive workforce built two encampments,

0:23:13 > 0:23:17with 1,500 wooden huts housing up to 40,000 men.

0:23:17 > 0:23:20A military railway known as the Tackeroo

0:23:20 > 0:23:24was built to transport construction materials to the top of the Chase.

0:23:25 > 0:23:29This rather unassuming hut is a reminder of the role

0:23:29 > 0:23:31that Cannock Chase played during the war.

0:23:32 > 0:23:36I've come to meet local archaeologist Stephen Dean

0:23:36 > 0:23:38to find out more about the camps.

0:23:38 > 0:23:41This is amazing. Is this hut original to the camps?

0:23:41 > 0:23:43It is.

0:23:43 > 0:23:46It was built here in 1914 and was probably around until about 1919

0:23:46 > 0:23:50when it was sold to a nearby parish council as a village hall.

0:23:50 > 0:23:53It was in use until about 2006 when it was donated back to us

0:23:53 > 0:23:57- at the county council.- What was the primary role of these camps?

0:23:57 > 0:24:01The camps were designed to hold infantry divisions,

0:24:01 > 0:24:03so 40,000 men on the Chase.

0:24:03 > 0:24:05- 40,000.- That's what it was designed as.

0:24:05 > 0:24:06The camps were huge.

0:24:06 > 0:24:10They cover large parts of the upland Chase and they had everything.

0:24:10 > 0:24:12Basically, they were like two towns.

0:24:12 > 0:24:16They had shops, we've got theatres, post offices, banks,

0:24:16 > 0:24:19everything really that you do need as a small community was up here.

0:24:19 > 0:24:21So what would have gone on in these huts?

0:24:21 > 0:24:24They would have eaten here, they would have slept here,

0:24:24 > 0:24:26they would have trained here.

0:24:26 > 0:24:28When they were training, the beds would have been moved to the side,

0:24:28 > 0:24:31you would have had your benches out, so they would be going over

0:24:31 > 0:24:33training manuals, like rifle training,

0:24:33 > 0:24:35like trench digging, that sort of thing.

0:24:35 > 0:24:38Typically, how long would somebody be in one of these camps?

0:24:38 > 0:24:41It might be as short a period as maybe two weeks.

0:24:41 > 0:24:44It might be six, eight, ten weeks.

0:24:46 > 0:24:49As the war effort continued, the training of troops became

0:24:49 > 0:24:52more and more essential, so what was it like for the soldiers

0:24:52 > 0:24:55preparing for the front line back here on the Chase?

0:24:55 > 0:24:57What have we got here?

0:24:57 > 0:25:01These are postcards from a chap called Erskine Williams.

0:25:01 > 0:25:03Erskine was in the camps.

0:25:03 > 0:25:07He was a fantastic cartoonist, and he sends postcards back home.

0:25:07 > 0:25:09"Scrubbing the hut floor."

0:25:09 > 0:25:12And I love the expression of himself.

0:25:12 > 0:25:15"Observe your 'umble in the foreground."

0:25:15 > 0:25:18"Your 'umble" is him, presumably, scrubbing away.

0:25:18 > 0:25:23And then we've got one here, a "section drawing of bombing trench."

0:25:23 > 0:25:26"This is the charming pastime we indulged in

0:25:26 > 0:25:29"in the rain for three hours.

0:25:29 > 0:25:32"Hope this is a clear illustration, especially of the rain."

0:25:32 > 0:25:35In other words, it wasn't very nice. Gosh.

0:25:35 > 0:25:38- Trying to get as near to the real thing as possible.- Very much so.

0:25:41 > 0:25:45Back in 2012, an exciting discovery was made here

0:25:45 > 0:25:46right beneath my feet

0:25:46 > 0:25:50which shows the extent of the training the soldiers were given.

0:25:50 > 0:25:53So what was this discovery?

0:25:53 > 0:25:57It's a terrain model of a section of a battlefield at a place called Messines.

0:25:57 > 0:25:58This was in Belgium?

0:25:58 > 0:26:02I notice now, we can't see anything of the model at all.

0:26:02 > 0:26:03What's the reason behind that?

0:26:03 > 0:26:07We've recovered it because it's actually in a very fragile state

0:26:07 > 0:26:10so if we leave it exposed it could degrade very quickly.

0:26:10 > 0:26:12How did you know this was here?

0:26:12 > 0:26:14It's something we've known about for a while,

0:26:14 > 0:26:17it's been on a lot of our maps of Cannock Chase.

0:26:17 > 0:26:20We didn't really realise in what condition it survived in

0:26:20 > 0:26:23until maybe 2012, when a small section of it was excavated

0:26:23 > 0:26:26and it was brought to our attention.

0:26:26 > 0:26:28So who built this model?

0:26:28 > 0:26:29After the Battle of Messines,

0:26:29 > 0:26:32sections of the New Zealand Rifle Brigade came back here

0:26:32 > 0:26:34to their reserve depot on Cannock Chase.

0:26:34 > 0:26:39Late 1917, early into '18, they were instructed to build

0:26:39 > 0:26:42a terrain model with the help of German POWs,

0:26:42 > 0:26:45so they selected the area of their success.

0:26:45 > 0:26:47So why did they build a model? What was it for?

0:26:47 > 0:26:51It was built to train troops in map-reading and topography.

0:26:51 > 0:26:56It recorded farm houses, it recorded roads, railways, trench systems.

0:26:56 > 0:27:00Everything was recorded to the finest detail.

0:27:00 > 0:27:02So if you want to know how to take a trench,

0:27:02 > 0:27:06this is how I took this trench on this model in reality.

0:27:06 > 0:27:09- Yeah. Stephen, thank you very much indeed, fascinating.- Pleasure.

0:27:09 > 0:27:13Meanwhile I'm going to snap to attention and march swiftly

0:27:13 > 0:27:16down the road to the saleroom in Lichfield.

0:27:24 > 0:27:28I'm with Richard Winterton, auctioneer of this parish.

0:27:28 > 0:27:30- How are you?- I'm very well, Charlie, and welcome to Lichfield.

0:27:30 > 0:27:31It's lovely to be back.

0:27:31 > 0:27:36Our Red team have made three interesting investments,

0:27:36 > 0:27:39starting with our little dog, what do you think?

0:27:39 > 0:27:42I love him. It's a good start, I like it. I do.

0:27:42 > 0:27:45- How old is he? - 1950s, would you say?

0:27:45 > 0:27:48Bit of age, but we'd like him to be Victorian, wouldn't we?

0:27:48 > 0:27:51- We certainly would. - What is it worth?

0:27:51 > 0:27:55- We've gone 20-40. - Have you? They paid £50.

0:27:55 > 0:27:57They deserve to get towards that.

0:27:57 > 0:27:58Got a sporting chance, haven't we?

0:27:58 > 0:28:00What about the tea caddy?

0:28:00 > 0:28:02Sharp intake of breath.

0:28:02 > 0:28:04Now I look at it in the cold light of day,

0:28:04 > 0:28:07it's not really shouting at me very much.

0:28:07 > 0:28:11We've got a punchy 40-60 on a bit of dull pewter.

0:28:11 > 0:28:14It's a great Bombay form and we'd like it to be silver.

0:28:14 > 0:28:15We'd love it to be silver.

0:28:15 > 0:28:19- It cost £45.- So we're in the right area.

0:28:19 > 0:28:20I salute you with your estimate.

0:28:20 > 0:28:22What about this fine yacht?

0:28:22 > 0:28:25I love the yacht. They always sell well, they are always popular.

0:28:25 > 0:28:28I think it's beautifully made. Is there a bit of water around here?

0:28:28 > 0:28:30Not a lot.

0:28:32 > 0:28:35That could be the only drawback. It's a bit too big for the bath.

0:28:35 > 0:28:37What do you think about the value?

0:28:37 > 0:28:40We've got 80-120. That's a fair offer for what it is.

0:28:40 > 0:28:42They only paid £50.

0:28:42 > 0:28:44That's a good buy, isn't it?

0:28:44 > 0:28:47Of course, if they don't make enough money on the yacht,

0:28:47 > 0:28:49they might need their bonus buy.

0:28:49 > 0:28:51Let's have a look at it.

0:28:51 > 0:28:55- Well, girls, this is the moment, isn't it?- It is.

0:28:55 > 0:28:57What is under that lovely cloth?

0:28:57 > 0:28:59I bought you this -

0:28:59 > 0:29:04an Art Deco moulded glass square vase

0:29:04 > 0:29:07decorated with scenes of Pandora.

0:29:07 > 0:29:10- Pandora's box.- Pandora's box.

0:29:10 > 0:29:12I'm so pleased.

0:29:12 > 0:29:14This is quite extraordinary.

0:29:14 > 0:29:18You can make the most ordinary objects seem quite wonderful.

0:29:18 > 0:29:22- And they haven't even asked me how much I paid for it!- £155.

0:29:22 > 0:29:23It wasn't!

0:29:23 > 0:29:28I'm delighted to say it was priced at £12.

0:29:28 > 0:29:30- Is that all?- I know!

0:29:30 > 0:29:32I bought it for eight.

0:29:32 > 0:29:34- Very good.- Bargain.

0:29:34 > 0:29:39- So it's not often that I say I can guarantee a profit.- How much?

0:29:39 > 0:29:44- I'd better not start now. - How much?- How much profit?

0:29:44 > 0:29:50I think that we can confidently predict a profit of 100%.

0:29:50 > 0:29:53I thought you were going to say £100. Not £100?

0:29:53 > 0:29:56You are an optimist. We are going to double our money.

0:29:56 > 0:29:58Or more.

0:29:58 > 0:30:00Probably the only one that will make that!

0:30:02 > 0:30:05O, ye of little faith!

0:30:05 > 0:30:08You seem quite keen on that lot.

0:30:08 > 0:30:12I think it's absolutely beautiful.

0:30:12 > 0:30:15- I'd love to have it myself. - They're happy!- That's fantastic.

0:30:15 > 0:30:17Of course, girls, you don't have to make your mind up now,

0:30:17 > 0:30:20that can be done at the auction.

0:30:20 > 0:30:22The girls are happy, Richard appears to be happy,

0:30:22 > 0:30:24will the auctioneer be happy?

0:30:26 > 0:30:28Here we have it, what do you think?

0:30:28 > 0:30:32It's got a bit about it. I love how it sits in there.

0:30:32 > 0:30:34With the maidens as well.

0:30:34 > 0:30:36Art Deco in its form. What about the value?

0:30:36 > 0:30:41- We've gone 40-60.- Right. I think this could be an absolute wower.

0:30:41 > 0:30:42- Do you?- He paid eight.

0:30:42 > 0:30:45That is really good, that's fantastic.

0:30:45 > 0:30:47That's the Red team, now for the Blues.

0:30:47 > 0:30:52Claire and Elizabeth have kicked off with the marble ornament.

0:30:52 > 0:30:53What do you think?

0:30:53 > 0:30:57I quite like it, it's got that style to it and lovely colour.

0:30:57 > 0:31:00It really does shine. It's a nice thing.

0:31:00 > 0:31:02- Saleable?- Oh, yes, most certainly.

0:31:02 > 0:31:04Certainly, at the right price, obviously.

0:31:04 > 0:31:06In Lichfield, they'll like it.

0:31:06 > 0:31:10- What do you think about the value? - We've gone 80-120.- Have you?

0:31:10 > 0:31:13- They paid £32.- That's a good buy.

0:31:13 > 0:31:15Almost a steal. You sniff a profit there, don't you?

0:31:15 > 0:31:18- There should be. - That's a good start,

0:31:18 > 0:31:22- what about the bangle? - It's a bangle! It's popular,

0:31:22 > 0:31:28we see tremendous lots of them. It's silver, 20-40 all day long.

0:31:28 > 0:31:31Cost £20. I don't think we need to say any more about that.

0:31:31 > 0:31:33And what about the travelling clock?

0:31:33 > 0:31:35Fabulous thing, I love travelling clocks anyway.

0:31:35 > 0:31:38I love the history behind them and it's just a nice example.

0:31:38 > 0:31:42- And it's got a bit of age, 1924.- Fabulous.

0:31:42 > 0:31:45- Got 30-50 on it.- They paid £22.

0:31:45 > 0:31:52- Three good objects.- Do I sniff a Golden Gavel here? It's possible.

0:31:52 > 0:31:55If you can make your estimates come true, they probably

0:31:55 > 0:31:58won't need their bonus buy, but just in case they do,

0:31:58 > 0:32:00let's have a look at it.

0:32:01 > 0:32:05Claire and Elizabeth, you look just a little bit tense here,

0:32:05 > 0:32:12because you gave this man a whopping amount of money. £226.

0:32:12 > 0:32:17- Do you think this man can be trusted with £226?- Yes.- I think so.

0:32:17 > 0:32:22Really? I think you've rubbed off on me because I was immensely mean.

0:32:22 > 0:32:25I bought a little bit of jewellery.

0:32:25 > 0:32:27- That's lovely.- Very pretty.

0:32:27 > 0:32:29Like my contestants.

0:32:29 > 0:32:32- Bless you.- Isn't he lovely?

0:32:32 > 0:32:36- We like him!- Some of the time.

0:32:36 > 0:32:37Look what it does.

0:32:37 > 0:32:41- It flips open. - Nice little photographs.

0:32:41 > 0:32:43Two grumpy old men in there.

0:32:43 > 0:32:48You've got grumpy old men. We're mostly grumpy.

0:32:50 > 0:32:53Lockets are really popular and how much do you think I spent on that?

0:32:53 > 0:32:56- £40.- Less. Much less.

0:32:56 > 0:33:00- 25 quid.- Wow!- That's lovely.

0:33:00 > 0:33:02Do you want to hold it?

0:33:02 > 0:33:04How old is it, Thomas?

0:33:04 > 0:33:08- It's probably 1910.- It's got age.

0:33:08 > 0:33:11Yeah, and it's a silver locket, it's lovely.

0:33:11 > 0:33:13I think most ladies would like to own that, Thomas.

0:33:13 > 0:33:16They would. How much do you think we'd get for it at the auction?

0:33:16 > 0:33:19You mentioned a figure. £40 you thought I'd paid for it,

0:33:19 > 0:33:23and I think that's what it should be worth. 40-60.

0:33:23 > 0:33:25Very good. Girls, you like that.

0:33:25 > 0:33:28You don't have to make your mind up now, make up your mind when

0:33:28 > 0:33:32the auction is going on, so think about it, but if you like it,

0:33:32 > 0:33:36there's a possibility that the auctioneer will like it.

0:33:38 > 0:33:41We've got a little locket for you.

0:33:41 > 0:33:43Again, it's a good, safe bet.

0:33:43 > 0:33:48They're popular, it's a little silver locket,

0:33:48 > 0:33:51and it's £30-50 all day long.

0:33:51 > 0:33:56Little gem set there. Ruby or something. And you say 30-50.

0:33:56 > 0:33:5825 paid, it should be OK.

0:33:58 > 0:34:01- Should be OK on that if they want to go with it.- Well done.

0:34:01 > 0:34:02This could be quite a competition.

0:34:02 > 0:34:03You'll be taking the auction?

0:34:03 > 0:34:06- Yes, looking forward to it. - Excellent, so am I.

0:34:11 > 0:34:13- Are you excited?- Really excited!

0:34:13 > 0:34:16- Are you confident? Yes. - We're going to do well today.

0:34:16 > 0:34:21First up we've got your Boston terrier doorstop. Nicely catalogued.

0:34:21 > 0:34:24Cast iron. In standing pose.

0:34:24 > 0:34:26- Bit like us.- There it is.

0:34:26 > 0:34:29Here we go.

0:34:29 > 0:34:32The cast-iron Boston terrier doorstop.

0:34:32 > 0:34:35Start me off £10. £10 I'm bid.

0:34:35 > 0:34:3615 I'm bid.

0:34:36 > 0:34:38- 20 I'm bid.- 20!

0:34:57 > 0:35:01£40 in the room. Sold at 40.

0:35:05 > 0:35:08That's all right, you've only lost £10 on the doorstop,

0:35:08 > 0:35:11that's not a bad start, is it? And here comes the tea caddy.

0:35:11 > 0:35:13Victorian pewter tea caddy,

0:35:13 > 0:35:15where's it going to be? £20.

0:35:40 > 0:35:43After two items, you're only down £10.

0:35:43 > 0:35:45Not bad, is it? Now the yacht.

0:35:45 > 0:35:47Now, this is it.

0:35:47 > 0:35:48Where are we going to be?

0:35:48 > 0:35:49Start me £20.

0:36:35 > 0:36:39Take that little tenner off that we lost earlier - £50!

0:36:42 > 0:36:45Hang on, you've got to concentrate, girls, because we've got a bonus buy

0:36:45 > 0:36:48to think about here. What do you think? Do you want to go with it?

0:36:48 > 0:36:53- I think so.- Do you think so? Do it.

0:36:53 > 0:36:55We're in, thank you very much.

0:36:55 > 0:36:58- Definitely. - You've made your decision.

0:36:58 > 0:37:01The auctioneer thinks it's going to be £40-60.

0:37:01 > 0:37:04Here it comes now.

0:37:04 > 0:37:06Now we go to 269.

0:37:42 > 0:37:44- Do you know how much money you've made?- No.

0:37:44 > 0:37:47- £92!- Wow!

0:37:47 > 0:37:50It's a remarkable return.

0:37:50 > 0:37:53You should be in the stock market.

0:37:54 > 0:37:57Not a word to the Blues

0:37:57 > 0:38:00because you never know, they might make hundreds of pounds.

0:38:06 > 0:38:09How are you feeling about all these items? Confident?

0:38:09 > 0:38:11Yeah. We didn't spend a lot of money.

0:38:11 > 0:38:12You're looking slightly nervous.

0:38:12 > 0:38:15Thomas, where's their confidence gone?

0:38:15 > 0:38:21Come on! Some great items and you've got a really good chance.

0:38:21 > 0:38:22I think you'll do well.

0:38:22 > 0:38:26I just feel it in my bones, but here comes the desk ornament.
